The Magical Journey to Hogwarts

Chapter 66 Cognitive Interference

Although she felt a little regretful that her brother could not taste troll meat, Zannah also made a new surprise discovery, that is, 'Hogwarts looks very interesting.'

After all, the trolls are wandering around the castle. If you encounter them, you have to fight, right? You have to break something when you fight, right? Even if a few innocent people are affected, it's normal, right? No one would blame a cute little witch for this, right?

Now that's fun!

According to the principle of relativity, happy days always pass quickly. So when Bell came to his senses, he found that it was time to go back to school.

‘Oh my God! I am already over 40, why do I still need to go to school? Is it over yet? ’

Bell deeply felt the malice of this world. However, no matter how much Bell behaves and wallows, it cannot change the fact that school has started.

After estimating the time, it felt like the Hogwarts Express should be arriving at Hogwarts Station. Bell said goodbye to Zannah and used 'Apparition' to return to Hogwarts.

After waiting at the station for a while, the train pulled into the station. A group of little wizards stepped off the train one after another. They looked at Bell standing on the platform strangely. They didn't know why he came here to blow the cold wind at night and stayed uncomfortably in the castle.

Soon Bell saw Hermione. He walked up to her and said hello: Hermione, how was your vacation?

Very happy! said Hermione. Then she lowered her voice again.

Bell, are you back from 'Apparition'? I checked it on my 'Personal Terminal' during my vacation, and it said that 'Apparition' can only be used after reaching adulthood and obtaining a certificate. You still don't want to Feel free to use it, if you are seen you will be arrested!

Don't worry, you can't 'disapparate' at all when you stay in Hogwarts. I rarely use it outside, so I won't be discovered.

Looking at the suitcase that Hermione was pulling, Bell waved his wand to change it to the size of a book and handed it to Hermione.

Thank you. Hermione thanked her, Bell, your sister is so cute. I am the only one in my family, and I really want a younger brother or younger sister.

Perhaps you can discuss this with your parents? At their current age, having another child shouldn't be a problem, right?

I told them, but they were rejected. Every time they talked about career, promotion, etc., they were all words I couldn't understand. In short, they just refused to give me a younger brother or younger sister. !”

Hermione was very dissatisfied with her parents' lack of cooperation. What about career or something? Is it fun to have little brothers and sisters? Do you have a cute little brother or sister? Do they have it! ? Definitely not! I really don't know what they are thinking. He is obviously so smart, but as his parents, why are they so stupid! ?

Perhaps you can secretly add some harmless potions to their food? Do you want me to recommend some to you? Bell gave Hermione a bad idea.

It could be seen that Hermione was a little moved. It seems that the little witch really wants a little brother or sister. But in the end, reason prevailed, and she rejected Bell's proposal.

The two people got into the carriage pulled by Yeqi. Because there were only two people, the Yeqi pulling the cart planned to wait a little longer.

However, Bell was not interested in adding another person in, so he gently knocked on the wall of the carriage, and a wave of magic energy spread out when Bell's fingers collided with the wall. Feeling the thoughts mixed with this magic power, Yeqi snorted and walked towards the castle obediently.

Bell, do you know what magic was cast on the carriage? Why does it move on its own?

This was Hermione's first time riding a Hogwarts carriage. Previously, she had entered Hogwarts by boat across the Black Lake.

The carriage will not move on its own, it will be pulled by the Thestrals.

Thestrals? What is that? Why can't I see it?

Hermione leaned against the window and looked carefully at the front of the carriage, but of course she saw nothing.

The Thestral is a magical animal that looks like a horse, has wings, and flies very fast. Only people who have witnessed death can see the Thestral. Bell explained.

But I am more skeptical about this view. Because the concept of 'death' is too broad. In fact, death happens all around us at any time. The death of dogs, cats, birds and other small animals, flies, I think almost everyone should have witnessed the death of mosquitoes, ants and other insects at one time or another. But these people still cannot see the Thestral. So I think whether you can see the Thestral depends more on the wizard The inner knowledge and understanding of death, the so-called witnessing of death is not necessary.”

Hermione nodded in understanding and said, What a pity, I also want to see what the Thestral looks like.

Then you want to do an experiment with me? Bell said eagerly, I can slightly interfere with your understanding of the concept of 'death'. In that case, maybe you can see the Thestral.

Hermione was a little hesitant. It wasn't that she didn't trust Bell and felt that Bell would do something bad to her. But interfering with cognition and so on, it sounds very scary when you hear it. The little witch, who is only 11 years old this year, is a little scared.

In fact, not to mention Hermione, even many adult wizards will feel resistant and afraid of magic that can interfere with people's cognition. But in fact, this kind of magic is not as scary as people think. In particular, the nature of magic determines that all wizards will be exposed to this type of magic intentionally or unintentionally.

To give a simple example, when casting the Patronus Spell, you must recall happy memories and inject strong happy emotions into the magic power in order to cast it successfully. But usually wizards cannot feel very happy anytime and anywhere, and the memories will fade and cannot be compared with the personal experience. Therefore, if you want to master the Patronus Charm skillfully, you must learn self-hypnosis, which is to interfere with your own consciousness.

After much hesitation, Hermione still did not choose to let Bell interfere with her cognition. If you think about it carefully, it doesn't really matter whether you can see the Thestrals or not. There are so many things she is curious about, and there are many things she doesn’t understand yet.

The carriage soon arrived outside Hogwarts Castle. After entering the auditorium, Bell and Hermione separated and returned to their respective houses' tables.

Bell, why are you willing to separate from your little girlfriend? A teasing voice came into Bell's ears.

The one who teased Bell was Penelo Crevat, a senior student in Ravenclaw. She is currently a fifth-grade student with excellent grades and a beautiful woman.

Penelope is very similar to Hermione in many ways: she comes from a Muggle family, has excellent grades, has an arrogant personality, and has no friends. It can be said that except for the different colleges to which she belongs, she can be said to be a mature version of Hermione. So, of course, she also encountered similar problems as Hermione, such as feeling inferior due to being born into a Muggle family.
